And Settling Down Again

And yesterday as we were heading to work we were thinking of situations. Them 'What if...?' kind of things.

After all, we needed something much more feasible and on a slightly larger scale than the Gonad Foundation.

And came up with the family relocating plan. Something not too drastic like say, an accident or something that meant hospitalization. And we included got the Chief into the act, not the least because of we wouldn't want the Chief to get sucker-punched by something that wasn't real.

So with the Chief as our accomplice, we discussed how we would run the situation, even to the point of coming up with a fake conversation (with out-of-character bits chatted in brackets) where the Chief expressed utter dismay and anger to our informing of relocating, for any use should we need to express our grief to others as to the Chief's reactions.

And so we launched the April Proposed Realism Interactive Life-Filling Outlook Operations Lab 2009.

The results are in.

Everyone were just a great bunch. The care and concern to the situation was just touching, as we had input regarding how to deal with the situation and well, the reason we would stay is not because people would ask us to stay, but because we have the Chief here and because we have all our friends here. Even tho', yes, we haven't been hanging out much with everyone already...

The Chief was also concern about cheating other people's sympathy, something the Chief dislikes...so we're sorry ya, to all if you felt offended. Lil' Prince, we're touched touched that you choose to think so highly of us!

And everyone, of course, had 1st April enough on their minds to be sharp and catch us on the 'family don't play April Fool's on each other', heh. If we were pressured more on that point we would have caved in and admit to the entire thing, but as it were we were all talking more of how to deal with the situation at hand.

As Nyukster said, "Even if it turns out to be a big april's fool thing, it would still be a great academic exercise for future scenarios." Very true! It turned out to be a great education of what to do if such a situation does arise!

Interesting enough we had this song in our head yesterday morning as we were planning this: Bee Gee's 'I Started A Joke'. And it turns out true, for today we hurt-ed the Chief with our comment where it looks as if we were blaming the Chief for the late admittance of an April Fool's joke. Our intention there was just to point out that the Chief was privy to the joke, but as the damage is done, we wanna say we're sorry, dear.
